Signaling mechanism to enable local operation for multi-antenna wireless communication systems

A method of wireless communication by a base station, comprising:

• allocating one or more resources for a self-calibration of the base station;
• and
• transmitting, to one or more devices, a self-calibration notification indicating the allocated one or more resources, the one or more devices including at least one UE, or at least one neighboring base station, or a combination thereof;
• and
• performing the self-calibration of the base station based on the allocated one or more resources, wherein the performing the self-calibration comprises:
• transmitting a reference signal using the allocated one or more resources;
• measuring one or more parameters from the transmitted reference signal;
• and
• calibrating the base station based on the measured one or more parameters and based on one or more standard parameters.

A device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, from a base station, a self-calibration notification indicating a self-calibration to be performed by the base station and one or more resources allocated for the self-calibration of the base station;
• and
• perform, by the device, in response to the self-calibration notification, at least one of deactivating at least one component of the device based on the one or more allocated resources or adjusting utilization of the one or more allocated resources allocated for the self-calibration of the base station,
• wherein the deactivating one component of the device or adjusting utilization of the one or more allocated resources reduces interference with a reference signal transmitted during the self-calibration of the base station.

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• allocate one or more resources for a self-calibration of the base station;
• transmit, to one or more devices, a self-calibration notification indicating the allocated one or more resources, the one or more devices including at least one UE, or at least one neighboring base station, or a combination thereof;
• and
• perform the self-calibration of the base station based on the allocated one or more resources, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
• transmit a reference signal using the allocated one or more resources;
• measure one or more parameters from the transmitted reference signal;
• and
• calibrate the base station based on the measured one or more parameters and based on one or more standard parameters.
